- structure of the performance based fire safety design system; design heat release rate (conceptual); typical values for fire growth rate; characteristic occupant density for the verification of evacuation safety; calculation of expected number of occupants blocked by fire adjacent to exit; verification of number of queuing evacuees in front of a doorway by a simple estimation; design features for Cases A (prescriptive solution), B1 and B2 (performance-based solutions)
